Did you know that the cochineal beetle can be found in Albuquerque, New Mexico?
You can see this parasitic beetle thriving in white clusters on cactus throughout the city. A pound of cochineal is required for each pound of yarn in order to achieve the darkest reds using this beetle.

Emily Trujillo's October class held at Taos Wools!
Sometimes in her classes she is also visited by the furry friends of her weaving students. These beautiful dogs were woven blankets from their owner. This is the only place she has taught rug weight weaving.
